And how is this different from krb5_cc_gen_new, which should also 
create a unique credentials cache?  Oh, yes, that one requires a ccache 
object as input, and this one takes a type name.  The name should 
should reflect that.  The words "new unique" could apply to either 
interface.

How about krb5_cc_gen_by_type(_name)?
